About
My lab aims to understand the molecular mechanisms that regulate lipid metabolism, endolysosomal transport of cholesterol and receptors in health and disease, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and atherosclerosis. In addition, we study the role of inflammation in ageing and cellular senescence.
